Nobody has won a war in the history of mankind by killing civilians relentlessly for 9 consecutive years, and then appears in a press room to make apologies. And no country has won a war by telling occupied civilians “I am here to protect you from your own insurgents who fight my occupation,” and then send the airplanes in toblast them to pieces – except the U.S.

The late Yugoslav president Slobbing Milosevic died in jail of the International Criminal Tribunal (ICT) in Hague, Netherlands for killing civilians during the break up of former Yigoslavia. Sudan’s president Omar Bashir has an arrest warrant for the killing of civilians by his army in Darfur. But the superpowers can kill with impunity. Who will dare to issue an arrest warrant for Barack Obama, Dmitry Medvedev, or Hu Jintao. And that is why the U.S. did not sign the protocols of the International Criminal Court (ICC), or the protocols of Civil and Political Rights – under the U.N. Human Rights Commission. We have reached that point of history that the army of one president can kill thousands of civilians, and he receives a Nobel Peace Prize for, while the army of another president can kill fewer and have a U.N. arrest warrant hanging over his head with all international police agencies.

The latest U.S. killing of 27 Afghan civilians continues a string of civilian killings that has been going on unabated for 9 continuous years in a row, and it is definitely a crime against humanity. And it is because the U.S. has killed more than 2.000 civilians in 2009 under “the assumption” that they were Taliban. And after all the assurances that protecting civilians is a priority of the U.S. forces in Afghanistan, and that the U.S. will stop killing civilians just on a “hunch” they might be Taliban, there is another massive killing of Afghan civilians again under the “assumption” that they were Taliban. And to make the killing absolutely inexcusable, accounts on the Google News page today report that the bombing of Afghan civilians was ordered by U.S. Special Forces! The U.S. Commander in Afghanistan, General McChrystal, was the Commander of the Special Forces – before his assignment to Afghanistan- and he knows better than anybody else how they operate. And when General McChrystal apologizes after the killing of the Afghan civilians, but fail to sack or court martial their commander who ordered the bombing on a hunch, that means only one thing: Afghan civilian lives have “no value” in the Afghan war, and the U.S. assurances that “protecting civilians is a high priority” is just a blunt and inexcusable lie to deceive the international community. Even the U.S. puppet president of Afghanistan, Hamid Karzai, is furious about.

Is a false assumption in a war front a justification to kill civilians with impunity? Of course not , and that is the officially declared U.S. policy. But killing dozens, hundreds, or thousands of civilians on “assumption” is a shame for the U.S., and for president Obama himself. He said during his Nobel Peace prize: “War is a necessity.” But killing innocent civilians year-after-year on just an assumption that might be your enemies, sir, is not a necessity: it is just wanton killing, and a crime against humanity!
